Answer:

Explanation:

$SO^{-2} _{3}$ , Oxygen always works with -2. You multiply with the number of atoms -2*3= -6

S=x+(-6)=-2

x-6=-2 -> x= -2+6 -> x= +4

What temperature in degrees c is the freezing point of water?

guajiro [1.7K]

The freezing point of water is 0° C. The Celsius (centigrade) scale is based off of water, with the freezing point at 0° and the boiling point at 100°. (Google will probably tell you this in 10 seconds, then you wouldn't have had to wait 7 hours!)

Consider these reactions:

Virty [35]

511.2 grams of chlorine gas consumed (with excess H-) when

1,342.0 kJ of energy is released from the system.

<h3></h3><h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

In thermochemistry, an exothermic reaction is a "reaction for which the overall standard enthalpy change ΔH⚬ is negative."

Given that 1 mole of chlorine releases -184.6 energy.

Then, we have to find the number of moles of chlorine when 1,342.0 kJ of energy is released from the system.

So, calculating number of moles of chlorine.

Moles = $\frac{-1,342.0 \;kJ}{-184.6\;kJ}$
